This (3rd -4th ) Week
well it's decided, for now I'm looking at my project: to sense my space through visual texture. So, what does that mean well... it means the artists I'll be paying particular attention to are Christian Bolt, Cornelia Parker, Alice Maher and many, many more!
It seems as though visual texture is the medium that appeals to me most, judging by the research I did. That research involves the artist stated above. I know that is still broad but plenty of time yet! :)
My aim is to capture a how both texture and visual aspects of a space can trigger an emotional response.
Or alternatively how I can manipulate these aspects to get a deliberate response. I love installations, particularly light installations! I love how the lighting, a small aspect can make a space seem so characteristic and expressive. That transition from a small thing to a big thing, reminds be of thought process/formation. A thought being born and becoming an action...

One Particular event I keep coming back to is Vivid Sydney Light Festival 2012... the piece that caught my attention was Underwater by David Clare. It is a projection on water giving an eerie, dream-like quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3rJYtoeLqU check it out (apologies for the poor quality)
one particular that inspires in many visual textural ways, goes by the name: thisiscolossal click the link: http://www.thisiscolossal.com/page/2/ Artists I admire on the site are=
*Carolina Fontoura Alzaga who works with old bicycles parts to make chandeliers! Amazing! The unique choice of medium would give any given space a character.
*David A. Reeves who stages these dramatic, silhouette scenes using cut-out paper! Paper suddenly tells you a story, I love his simplistic choice of medium and his dull lighting. The result is tha of a movie still!
*Anna Shirron

I really like how simple this piece is! There are so many ways this idea could be taken.
It can be purely for art, or be made into something with an aesthetic function in interior design... the list is endless.
*The glowing firefly squid of Toyama, Japan
